Humming Birds (Again)

The parameters were better today, and these guys gave me some good shots, given that I was at my work station, and had to take the shots through a dirty window. Note to self, wash the windows.

Nice set, Jeff, looks good. At that low ISO you might be able to go as fast as 1/2000 without pushing the ISO too high. Besides, you have good software to deal with a little noise. I'd be interested to see how it comes out.

Thanks! Yeah, I debated pushing the speed up a bit.

Nice composition on #2. I like the closer-up version. I think I'm going to have to get myself a prettier feeder.

Really nice work.

I like 2 since it can be hard to get two in one shot.

Thanks! They are actually quite territorial, and these two were trying to chase each other off, so I got lucky in being able to catch both of them at one time, because they were moving pretty darn fast.
